This update to Capital Impact Partners’ study, “Toward Inclusive Growth in Detroit: Density and Income Mix Strategies for Detroit’s Mixed-Use Corridors” (Fall 2015), provides demographic, land use and
Inclusive Growth scenarios for a majority of Detroit’s “corridor areas” — one or more census tracts adjacent to mixed-use and traditional commercial nodes and corridors as identified in the 2013 Detroit Future City Strategic Framework.
The “Toward Inclusive Growth” report profiles four corridor areas — Midtown, Corktown, Grand River/Southfield and the University of Detroit Mercy/Marygrove — to illustrate the wide variety of trajectories some of Detroit’s strongest districts have experienced in recent years. This appendix provides a greater amount of data for these and 15 additional corridor areas.
Information for each corridor area includes the following:
Land Use
Area (square miles, acres)
Detroit Future City 10-year Land Use
Map of 2014 vacancy and residential
development potential

The Corridor Area Comparisons section, which provides a snapshot of how each corridor area compares to the others based on the above measures and others, also includes the following:
Housing Units Eligible for Subsidy, 2016

This map highlights the locations of the corridor areas this report features and their “scores” from the Kirwan Institute’s “2014 Detroit Neighborhood Opportunity Index.” The Opportunity Index measures the relative economic opportunity across the city’s census tracts by combining
